INGREDIENTS:

     1 head cauliflower, cut into florets
     4 tablespoons butter
     Salt and pepper
     2 tablespoons oil
     4 chicken breasts, skin on
     6 tablespoons capers
     6 tablespoons almonds, sliced and roasted
     1 lemon, juiced

METHOD:

Preheat oven to 350°F. In a casserole, place cauliflower, 2 cups water, 2 tablespoons butter, salt and pepper, and cook in the oven for 30 minutes.

Heat oil in a skillet. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, and sear briefly, skin side down. Finish cooking in the oven, about 20 minutes.

Remove the chicken from the pan, pour off most of the grease, add the capers, almonds and remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Cook until butter has browned. Add the lemon juice.

To serve, place the cauliflower on each plate. Top with the chicken and drizzle caper butter.
